ARE YOU READY TO TAKE OFF WITH JEDSY?
As a Flight Test Engineer, you will be an essential part of the Flight Team at Jedsy; part engineer, part pilot, and part problem-solver. You will work closely with the CTO and the software team in Switzerland to plan, execute, and analyze flight tests to ensure our drone technology operates safely and reliably in real-world conditions. This role bridges engineering and actual flight behavior — a crucial position as we test and refine our systems.
Flight Test Engineers are curious, patient, and hands-on. You need to stay calm under pressure, be detail-oriented, and ready to solve problems quickly. Engineering or mechanical knowledge is helpful, but passion and persistence are more important.
Your Responsibilities
Take designs into the field and test them. Similar to our delivery pilots, our Flight Test Engineers fly drones— but with experimental setups to push limits and gather data for performance improvements. This role is hands-on, fast-paced, and vital to our development cycle.
Plan and conduct test flights from the Ground Station at our headquarters in Switzerland.
Analyze flight data and recommend performance enhancements.
Collaborate with software and hardware teams to optimize flight control systems for better operational performance.
Ensure compliance with safety regulations and industry standards.
Troubleshoot and resolve technical issues during flights, coordinating with relevant stakeholders as needed.
Perform pre-flight and post-flight inspections to ensure drone airworthiness.
Document flight results and report findings to the Head of Operations via our company channels.
Qualifications
Required Skills:
Experience in flight testing or operating unmanned aerial systems.
Strong knowledge of flight dynamics, control systems, and aviation regulations.
Excellent problem-solving and troubleshooting skills.
Effective team collaboration and ability to communicate technical concepts clearly.
Leadership skills and experience managing flight operations.
Attention to detail and ability to work in a fast-paced environment.
Excellent verbal and written English communication skills.
Preferred but Not Required:
Bachelor's or Master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field.
